Refuge In The Lord

Better to take refuge in the Lord than in our own schemes or the schemes of man. The Lord will protect His own and be a shield for them in the day of trouble. The Lord will protect His own from the wicked who seek to harm. We are to live our lives in the Lord, not man.

5 You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.

10 no evil shall be allowed to befall you, no plague come near your tent.

First Things First

The most important fact necessary before reading this website is to examine yourself to see if you are a Christian. If you are not a Christian, much of this would be ‘Foolishness’ to you.

1 Cor 2:14 The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

If you are not a Christian then I recommend reading the following:
